-We thought the music market operated differently from other markets, at least i did. I thought that if an industry [freshly grown into a global multi-billion industry](https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/music/inside/cron.html){: target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"} could suddenly be on the brink of fall, internet had to be bringing a new variable to the table. And it's almost true: music is a bit different. The music market is a lot more shady then say; the market for salad. (Although i wouldn't be surprised if i am making a debatable claim here.) And while the variable internet brought to table was new, it wasn't any different. Maybe even worse.

-But it's not the shadiness of the music market that sets it apart from others. It's how it's value is being created. In that sense, making music is a bit like any art: it can be compared to printing money. You do something with a couple of tools and because of X and Y factor it is determined if it's valuable or not. It doesn't have to bring any actual value to society: it will not transport goods, build housing, make food...
+The music market is shady. But it's not the shadiness of the music market that sets it apart from others. It's how it's value is being created. In that sense, making music is a bit like any art: it can be compared to printing money. You do something with a couple of tools and little funky shit. And boom\! Because of X and Y factor it is determined by some marketing cheif that it may or may not generate profit. Sure, there are many acts that are being blown up by the marketing department of a major record label who never see any real success in the habitual megastar sense. But it's out there and known, not first because of any particular musical value, but because millions of people where made aware of it. Music doesn't have to bring any actual value to society: it will not transport goods, build housing, make food... Sure, it might motviate someone to do all those things, but that's about where it stands. This means the value is organic and arbitrary at the same time.
